I am personaly using debian, and for me this is a nonproblem, installing a new copy of the os is as simple as:

mke3fs /dev/blah
mount /dev/blah /mnt
debootstrap sarge /mnt
umount /mnt

But most of the linux distros don't provide such capability.

Gentoo is very easy to install into a chroot -- just unpack the base image and run with the normal installation procedure. Debian, obviously, has debootstrap. SuSE has "yast dirinstall", which is a close equivalent.

If anyone else *isn't* capable of being easily installed into a chroot, then that distro is severely tardy with regard to its range of install options.
